Questions & Answers about מחר נשלח את הקובץ הסופי למנהלת, אבל היום אני עוד בודקת את הטיוטה.
Why does נשלח mean we will send even though there is no separate word for we or will?
In Hebrew, the verb itself usually includes both the subject and the tense.
- נשלח = we will send
- The prefix נ־ often marks first person plural in the future tense.
- Hebrew does not need a separate word like will here.
So:
- נשלח = we will send
- not just send
The verb comes from the root ש־ל־ח, related to sending.
Why is מחר at the beginning of the sentence?
Hebrew word order is fairly flexible. Putting מחר (tomorrow) first is very natural when the speaker wants to set the time frame right away.
So מחר נשלח... feels like:
- Tomorrow, we’ll send...
This also creates a nice contrast with היום (today) later in the sentence:
- מחר ... אבל היום ...
That contrast is one of the main reasons the time words are placed so prominently.
